Play Dropbox Video in my Unity Project

rgat1988

I am trying to access playing several Dropbox Videos from my folders in my Unity Project. But I need to play the videos using API in Dropbox. How can I do that? I am running into issues with the video playing even after getting permissions in the project.

Hi @rgat1988

It is not possible to play media directly from the API. However, you could create a shared link for the video via /sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. You can then use the created link to render the media on a website or direct users to that link.

If you are encountering errors specific to the Dropbox API, please reply with:

the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
the full text of any error or unexpected output

Is there any instructions on creating a shared link? Like example scripts

@rgat1988, while we don't have specific code snippet examples to create shared links, we do have more detailed guide on how to create shared links using the Dropbox API here.
